Woodcut.

The woodcut I did came from my Humour project. I chose an image I drew of a Hoover-tank.. showing a humerous connection between male and female. In this case it came from my praents professions wich are both quite gender steriotypical.. My mam a Cleaner/Housewife and my dad in the Army.

I chose to try out my first reduction print.. It was somewhat stressful to say the least.. I made plenty of mistakes from not reversing my image, to not cutting enough away.. but from every mistake I learned alot. I just need to plan better and take my time next time. :)

First two colours of reduction: White and light grey.

Third colour of reduction: dark grey.
Final colour of reduction: Black.
This image disappointed me a little as i dont think it suited a reduction style print. and maybe if it was the right way around. :P But I still want to practice more with woodcut and develop a suitable style.
